Jehovah’s Witnesses: Have you meditated in prayer on the possibility of dropping out of college?

Jehovah’s Witnesses are taught to believe that they do not need a college education in order to get a good job and have a stable retirement. They are taught to believe that a high school degree is quite sufficient for a solidly middle-class standard of living. For some, things have worked out the way they expected. But as you point out, for most JWs, a high school degree simply doesn’t cut it when it comes to getting a stable career that will put food on the table for the kids. Actually, this anti-education attitude leads to high levels of consumer debt among them (credit cards, car payments, and so on).
